Does it have a dual system touch screen? I mean like those from HP tablets were you can touch with fingers but also with a pen and pressure sensibility.
Every film i look at about android tablet is showing off device ports and crap! I think its a fashion now to show of ports which every tavlet and device of this type has built in anyways! I would like too see user interface i think this is most important here. Another usefull bit of info would be is it capacitive screen? And does it have 3g built in? Thats it! Stop showing same usb and memroy card slots all over!
Just check out Wetab's site and the 32gig version cost $569 euros = $790 US dollars, The 16gig version cost 449 euros = 624 dollars this version doesn't have 3G, GPS or Full HD 1080p via HDMI.
That really sucks The WeTab looks really promising but at nearly $700USD it's just to expensive.
@DINATECHNICS: Things in the real world are not as simple. In this particular case, it depends on what kind of use you are willing to make on your pad.
WeTab may be less polished than Apple's OS, but it does have the advantage of being hacker-friendly and not imposing arbitral restrictions -you could even configure it to work as a router or PBX, just as you could any ordinary PC.
iPad on the other hand is designed to keep happy users that have more limited needs and are less.tech savvy.
@momotaro84 I don't know, it would seem that you have so much more features in it (especially considering that it supports Android-developed stuff and that's an open source)
To me, this seems more like an actual tablet than the iPad. It has got USB, HDMi output, USB ports an open-source OS and supports a whole lot of Computer accessories and can play so many Codecs.
Still, cannot judge for sure until it's out so, no tablets for me 'till then.
Well in those points you're right. But i would wait until Apple releases a iPad update or until other companies like HP, Samsung etc. bring first Pads out.
The upcoming HP Slate with Windows 7 looks good and brings a full OS. And I'm sure more Linux and Android Tablets from known brands will be soon on the market. The WeTab Presentation is just too bad to buy - buggy and i don't think the WeTab App Store will last.
@momotaro84 I'd have to agree about waiting for the other Tablets to come out. If one comes out with Windows that should be almost a no-brainer. And yes, their presentation needs some work. As for reliability, I would wait until I get a hands-on AKA when it's out (unless it's out already and I did not know it)
My point is, from what they claim to offer, they (for me at least) beat Apple by a long shot. Still, I would make final judgment after seeing it and comparing it to what's there then.
Price - 450 euro for the 16gig version and 570 euros for the 32 gig version. iPad already beats them on price. Don't know why these idiots want to doom a damn great tablet at birth by messing up the price... especially for a pretty much unknown brand.
For this thing to have a chance they need to price it around $99 dollars. Why would anyone buy this, If It's price the same or more expensive than the Ipad.
err... do you know how much SSD technology costs? How about the additional GPS and intel atom CPU? You might as well look into a "apad irobot or eken m001" those are priced under $99... Also, android is open source and free... Ipad's os is closed source and it's app market is restrictive. Where as Android is not. I'd buy this for around $300, nothing more than $399. If they price it any higher then you can talk all the shit you want lol
Hands On? You are joking right? The guy in the suit did not let you even to touch it with your finger! And his eyes gave the message that if you dared to touch it, he would hit you on your head with the WeTab. Then he placed it on the table, not to be touched by anyone, and the tablet played a video demonstrating the interface.... Sorry but I would not call this a hands on impression....
Its price must be lowered. 450 euros are too much for a tablet with Atom.
I can see just like all the other recent iPad knockoffs, the scrolling isn't smooth. I'm sure it supports "multitasking" using a CPU that can't handle multitasking which means it will be painfully slow like all the other ripoffs. Someone needs to give it a "stress test" and run it under the kitchen faucet or drop it face down from 5 feet onto a sidewalk like I see everyone do to the iPad. Gee I wonder what will happen to this device that is sooooooo much better than the iPad? lol dumbasses.
Der Arbeitsspeicher sagt nicht viel aus, denn es hängt vom Betriebssystem ab wie der Arbeitsspeicher genutzt wird. Apple's iOS kommt mit den 0,25 GB sehr gut aus.
Wir haben in der Firma 2 iPads und bis jetzt kann ich nichts bemängeln. Beim WeTab verstehe ich nicht, warum man mit einer buggy Betaversion und nicht vollständig optimierte Hardware an die Presse geht. Das ist ein Schuss ins Knie.
Fuck yes sex sex sex love it. Go to fucking Amazon.de and translate the website on google chrome and preorder there it's the German amazon!! Yes love this althougbt they use the N450 coukdve used the Z series (anyone who doesn't know just type intel atom specs and the first result should be the intel site itself) gahh this kicks the ipads ass so hard!!! I wish it came With more ram like the HP looking glass :( and guys I have had a MacBook and three iPhones :p including an iPhone 4 right now. F
Exposed screws = piece of shit. Wepad will fail in the tablet market it simply cannot compete against apple hp and Microsoft. And why haven't we seen one in use? The video simply showed it playing video footage of it's interface.
@wildcat1559 To be honest, I sometimes think that exposed screws can fit perfectly to a design (I for example find the Zune HD much better looking than the Ipod touch). To talk about it now doesn't really makje sense, as nobody has really used it so far. However, I like Androd much more than iOS and think it is the far superior and future oriented piece of software. If I bought one, it would be an Android Pad, that's for sure.
So the WeTab is the best thing there is! The iPad is no substitute for really but here I have a feeling it is feasible. The WeTab has so many advantages! Well it has each his own opinion on it, but I am quite clear to the WeTab!
@RealFreakPiano Wow, FAIL. I like the iPad to, but this thing has everything the iPad has and THEN SOME! Usb ports, card reader(s?), BUILT IN web cam, faster processor, more ram, larger screen, more easily programmable OS, no apple restraints on what can go on the device... More?
if you google this: "Tablets: The Big List of What's Here and What's Coming" remove quotes. then hit the first one, it will have most of the tablets that are coming out on a big list.
@darkdylaner i've narrowed my choices down to either the ICD Vega or the Neofonie WeTab. ICD Vega Specs: A Tegra processor, 32GB of storage, 512MB of RAM and 512MB of NAND flash, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, 1.3-megapixel webcam, dual digital microphone array, 4 hour batter, ambient light sensor and accelerometer, plus 3.5mm headphone jack. Neofonie WeTab specs: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 , GMA 3150 graphics, 1.3 megapixel-webcam, up to 32GB storage, Wi-Fi, 3G, bluetooth and 6 hour battery.
very lame still waiting on pc version this is garbage its just a screen playing a video and there all wetting their panies steve jobs controls ur experiance PC FTW
@prepschoolkid i got an iPad and i like it. I can't tell you anything so far about the WePad but i can tell you one thing for sure: Don't even think of buying a tablet right now. For the holiday season you will have plenty of options to chose from.
@prepschoolkid Out of all the tablets I've seen so far I'd say the WeTab. It's Linux-based with Android and Adobe AIR support plus it has flash which means you should be able to play games on Newgrounds and Addictinggames.
@prepschoolkid The iPad no doubt. Who know's who's actually building this. It feels as if history is happening again, Company's just slap some features together and then call it a day almost as if there's no responsibility or real future planning involved. The perception of not being "steady" translate into a unknown Company randomly building a device which also translate pretty much in to no quality control. The story of most Comp on the market in America waiting for Apple's best next thing.
I thin WePad is better than IPad but all pepole want to buy IPad because Apple is one of the best Company and this Company from Germany of the WePad is unknown for USA and all the other Countries
@MrGamerDE i totally agree, the ipad has the cult apple followers. this to me is by far looking way better. i will wait and have my sister ship me one. btw i have a macbook pro and an iphone for people who will juump at saying im a microsofty....
Warum gibt es davon keine Videos, wie mal wirklich einer miit dem finger dadrüber stericht, das sieht so aus, wie nen bildschirm, der ne Demo abspielen kann
ipad is far away to be realy good.... the ipad needs badly a cam.... would be perfect for video conference. it also need the new internet connection default.
the problem with flash wont be a problem with the first jailbreak....
Not only is it very slow, it has a horrible touch screen and the windows 7 starter os is not optimized for a tablet unit like the Archos. just save money and by the time this hits market you will have enough to buy it. This appears to be better in almost every conceivable way possible

@junkyardwillie Dude, have you ever tried to use iTunes? Because that is the most confusing program I have ever used! And that does have a mouse plugged into it, and it still doesn't help.
all die firmen sollten etwas mehr geld in entwicklung von spiegelfreien displays investieren... wer auf wetab nicht warten will und hass auf apple hat, kann bei ebay tab geräte für etwa 100 eur mit android kaufen :)
@ Minipcpro kannst du mir vllt. sagen wie es mit spielen aussieht? läuft das auch wie bei dem Ipad über den Bewegunssensor? Wie sehen die Spiele aus, ich meine sie die z.b mit apples Hd rennspielen für das Ipad vergleichbar? Das ist wirklich noch mein letzter punkt der mich dran hindert mir das WeTap(wepad) vorzubestellen. Echt ein geiles Teil;) Liebe grüße Basti
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it has this, it has that. it is better than the iPad.. blah, blah, blah. I have the iPad and it is fantastic. Great apps, games, etc. it works! It does not have flash.. so what? Flash is not the best standard for the web (security issues, etc). I bet you that they will only sell a few when it is realeased... then the damned thing won't run, etc.... HP and Microsoft (great tech companies) decided not to release their tablets.. why?.. probably because there was something better already: the iPAD.
@nonavyable so i also got an iPad and no, MS and HP never dumped their tablet projects. The HP Slate is on halt and the MS Courier was always just a prototype. You should maybe doublecheck your sources before going public with your comments
@nonavyable I'm not a mac hater. I live and die for my iPhone. _But_ when you say: "iPad and it is fantastic. Great apps..." won't these things, and all the other contenders, won't they run REAL programs? The REAL programs you've already paid for (Photoshop, Video Games, Audio & Video Suites)? REAL programs, Not 100mb cell phone games blown up. Flash may not be the "best standard" but it is still a standard. Ignoring that freezes out a HUGE chunk of what people use the internet for.
@nonavyable Oh shut up, you fucking prudent Macfag. While HTML5 is beneficial and will eventually overtake Flash, the "Walled Garden" methodology of creating an Open Web while simultaneously leveraging MPEG-LA and DRM is a complete crock of shit. Corporate spin, my boy. Steve Jobs could shit on your face, and you'd probably consider it revolutionary. That's how much of the Kool-Aid you're drinking.
Even the form factor (a big iPad, including homescreen) is horribly flawed and doesn't scale.
@NotASocialCommentary Send your stupid comments to Steve and show him all the wonderful things you have created. By the way, Einstein, i do have a couple of Windows machines and a great HTC as well!...and no Apple Tv because I think it is crap. I simply buy or use what works for me. Vent your fustration and anger on someone else, or better still: Get a life or a boyfriend... I think you need it!
@nonavyable Every one of you Apple apologists come up with comebacks such as "Well what have YOU done lolz?!"
What does one HAVE to do to become "worthwhile" in this consumption-based society? Make something shiny that has marketing spin that most military regimes would (and probably have) kill(ed) for?
And way to drag yourself down by turning homosexuality into an insult. Do Charles Darwin a favor and prevent yourself from contributing to the gene pool, you fucking homophobe.
You started insulting me, and now you want to accuse me of being a homophobe. Moreover, If you are so against the "capitalist machinery", why don't you go and join Kim Yong-iL in North Korea?...He can use "bright sparks" like you to promote his wonderful People's Republic. Mind you, you will not be able to use this capitalist tool to spread your diatribe.
The gene pool is certainly not better with single-celled life forms like you!
@nonavyable Aww, look at the kid with Downs cwying. And I think you're just another of those goddamned Republicans that can't tell the difference between an economic system and a political system. NK is a Dictatorship (like Apple), that leverages Communism (like GNU). So, before you try and throw around antiquated conceptions of things you hardly seem to understand, how about you do some research before slamming against keyboards with your forehead?
@NotASocialCommentary Once upon a time, the little boy was not allowed to play with his dolls, he had no friends in school, then, one day, he was left in a dark room all by himself and suffered a trauma from which he never recovered! He became paranoid, irate, and disillusioned with a world he could not change. He told his mother, “One day I will change the world”. …But it never happened! He stills cries himself to sleep at night.
@nonavyable "iPad and it is fantastic. Great apps, games, etc." Lol fanboy, people needs something morethan a Game.. some multifunction device.. Ipad = No ethernet connection doesnt support video call, no USB connection and its not even close to netbook.. what a TRASH??? oh maybe its features makes u excited?? like what?? rotating the pictures with your finger makes you happy?? if the reason is game, just buy PSP, or DS or maybe Ps3.. get a life Kid
The device looks great and I have watched another clip about it on a german web site where they actually show the touchscreen features which looked great too. This device is better then the ipad but we have to accept the fact that it is apple once again who set the standart for others to follow. It was a pretty smart move by the germans to include features like usb ports, hdmi and a card reader. Another advantage of this devise is that it does multy tasking.

Love the way it pinches and zooms in on photographs MUCH better than the iPad!
And who can deny that it has more superior apps!! My only question is after this kills the iPad, what in heaven's name will be the WePad killer??! ; )
@minipcpro even with all those so called crappy features iPhone is still the best phone. And they corrected all those issues in one year and this summer iphone 4 is gonna set a new standard, youve seen the Gizmodo pics and videos. Now lets see which company will be the first to copy iphone 4. All they do is copy & paste. And please stay out of apple bubble it's definitely not meant for you.
@saladin7603 who says this is the best phone? there is no best phone, the best phone is the one you like personally the best. It can be an iPhone, a Nexus One, an N900 or a Blackberry. I've seen the Gizmodo pics and videos and all you see is a new smartphone. Noone knows about any groundbreaking new features cause they couldn't even use it!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
All you morons on here apparently did not notice this device did not get any interaction from the users via its alleged touch screen or touch capable user interface!! All of its interaction was done via a remote connection with a keyboard and mouse, what a horribly conceived product, it is doomed to fail before its launched.
@sgtshatta we will have a hands on video tomorrow. Maybe we should talk about this "moron" issue again in some weeks. might make you look pretty foolish then ;)
No one at this demo really gets to use the UI. It's being controlled from another computer. Software looks limited but I do love the fact that apple influenced them to go in this direction. A few years ago iPhone was being booed for not having a physical keyboard, no video capabilities, no flash player and runs on the edge network. Now everyone is copying the UI. Apple FTW.
@saladin7603 wow someone is living in an Apple bubble. Copying the Apple UI? of course it is crap not to have flash, of course it was crap to have an edge phone, guess why they changed it!
despite all of its plugs and ports, this device WILL ultimately fail. the OS running on this machine looks second rate. the hardware is built by some obscure german tech company that dont have the marketing prowess that Apple does. besides there is the likes of microsoft, hp and dell to contend with. good luck wepad because youre going to need it.
And one thing i've forgot to mention is that you should know how hot this device is going to run when you are using it. If its very hot than it would seem uncomfortable to use. But that remain to be seen.
This seems like a great device. It has usb ports, hdmi out and a 4 in 1 card reader. But for a tablet device like this they did not showcase the most important element, that is touch sensitivity and accuracy. Lousy touch sensitivity and accuracy will lead to a very frustrating user experience. Another thing that you'll need to take note of when buying a mobile device like this is weight. After all you can't be expected to take something heavy with you all over the place.
Intel Atom 450, HD hardware accelerator, Linux based OS, HDMI, Webcam 1.3MP, Microphone, 2xUSB, SD/SDHC card reader, 6 hours battery life, magnesium-aluminum housing, weight 799g !!! ordering via amazon. de
Poor photographers, they should be taught some physics, 1. what the polarization angle of that display is, 2. how they can use a filter for few reflections and nice/easy pictures. ;)
this has to be the worst press-conference ever. they dont even have enough for a good review. its funny how they dont let people touch it. gimme a break, its running linux for crying out loud. theres no need to be such assholes about it. apple wont have to worry.
Put Gnome 3 on it and you are good to go.

@prepschoolkid Out of all the tablets I've seen so far I'd say the WeTab. It's Linux-based with Android and Adobe AIR support plus it has flash which means you should be able to play games on Newgrounds and Addictinggames.

@prepschoolkid The iPad no doubt. Who know's who's actually building this. It feels as if history is happening again, Company's just slap some features together and then call it a day almost as if there's no responsibility or real future planning involved. The perception of not being "steady" translate into a unknown Company randomly building a device which also translate pretty much in to no quality control. The story of most Comp on the market in America waiting for Apple's best next thing.

it has this, it has that. it is better than the iPad.. blah, blah, blah. I have the iPad and it is fantastic. Great apps, games, etc. it works! It does not have flash.. so what? Flash is not the best standard for the web (security issues, etc). I bet you that they will only sell a few when it is realeased... then the damned thing won't run, etc.... HP and Microsoft (great tech companies) decided not to release their tablets.. why?.. probably because there was something better already: the iPAD.

@nonavyable I'm not a mac hater. I live and die for my iPhone. _But_ when you say: "iPad and it is fantastic. Great apps..." won't these things, and all the other contenders, won't they run REAL programs? The REAL programs you've already paid for (Photoshop, Video Games, Audio & Video Suites)? REAL programs, Not 100mb cell phone games blown up. Flash may not be the "best standard" but it is still a standard. Ignoring that freezes out a HUGE chunk of what people use the internet for.

@nonavyable Oh shut up, you fucking prudent Macfag. While HTML5 is beneficial and will eventually overtake Flash, the "Walled Garden" methodology of creating an Open Web while simultaneously leveraging MPEG-LA and DRM is a complete crock of shit.

No one at this demo really gets to use the UI. It's being controlled from another computer. Software looks limited but I do love the fact that apple influenced them to go in this direction. A few years ago iPhone was being booed for not having a physical keyboard, no video capabilities, no flash player and runs on the edge network. Now everyone is copying the UI. Apple FTW.

This seems like a great device. It has usb ports, hdmi out and a 4 in 1 card reader. But for a tablet device like this they did not showcase the most important element, that is touch sensitivity and accuracy. Lousy touch sensitivity and accuracy will lead to a very frustrating user experience. Another thing that you'll need to take note of when buying a mobile device like this is weight. After all you can't be expected to take something heavy with you all over the place.
